Featuring a unique circuit design, the MXR FET Driver captures the rich, creamy sound of an overdriven tube amplifier by cascading an op-amp gain stage into a FET stage. The FET Driver thickens up lead tones with musical, amp-like distortion and sustain without the fragility and inconsistency associated with tubes.

The FET Driver features a simple but responsive set of controls. Set your volume level with the Output control, and then use the Drive control to dial in the grit, from subtle soft-clipping to early stage distortion. Fine tune the FET Driver’s sound by tweaking Hi and Lo boost/cut controls, and push the Hi Cut switch to roll off high end frequencies when playing in high volume situations where excess noise is apparent.

The MXR Dookie Drive Pedal captures the tones of those amps in a single pedal so that you can dial in your own variations of that famous Dookie sound. We borrowed his amps so that the MXR team could carefully analyze all the sonic qualities that make them sound so darn good. After much analysis and A/B testing, our engineers rebuilt the amps from scratch in pedal circuit form and fit them into a single housing. The High Gain and Crunch Gain sections each have their own controls, while the Blend control allows you to mix them together just like Green Day did in the studio. If you want some extra scoop in the midrange of the overall output signal, just hit the Scoop switch.

The MXR Dookie Drive Pedal isn’t just for Green Day fans—it’s a totally unique pedal that provides a full harmonic range of overdriven tones for a playing experience that is full of depth and dimension. This special edition features an all-new finish to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Dookie’s monumental release in 1994.

DD30 Dookie Overdrive 30th Anniversary

Ambient soundscapers and tonal experimenters rejoice, the MXR Layers lands to offer new angles on classic sustain effect formulas. Cool and compact, this pedal matches thoughtful MXR design with exceptional tonality to result in outstanding sustain effect equations.

Layers bases its main experience off a threefold sustain effect that deals in, its namesake, layers. Three onboard sustain layers play concurrently to one another to fashion complex and interesting weaves of notes, as triggered by a variety of methods. By utilizing the dedicated footswitch, Layers can be played manually to sustain notes or remotely by playing dynamics. The pedal’s Trigger knob control can be used to adjust the sensitivity of the automatic trigger sustain function or disable it altogether to offer early insight into this pedal’s options of interactivity.

Dieser kleine gelbe Kasten ist für die großartigen Distortion-Sounds verantwortlich, die man bei so vielen klassischen Aufnahmen hört. Dreh den Distortion-Regler herunter und drehe den Output-Regler auf, um das Frontend deines Verstärkers für coole Blues-Sounds anzutreiben, oder drehe den Distortion-Regler voll auf, um einen klassischen Hardrock-Sound der frühen 80er Jahre zu erzeugen. Es gibt immer noch keinen anderen Verzerrer auf dem Markt, der so klingt wie der Distortion+.

This little yellow box is responsible for those great distortion sounds heard on so many classic recordings. Set the Distortion control low and crank the Output knob to drive the front end of your amp for cool blues tones, or max out the Distortion knob for classic early '80s hard rock tone. There still isn't any distortion unit on the market that sounds like the Distortion+.

The MXR Super Badass Dynamic O.D. will give any rig as much extra bite as you need while preserving your existing tonal dynamics. With MOSFET clipping diodes under the hood, this pedal’s overdrive is a smooth purr that can be pulled back for a nice, clean boost or cranked into full gear for vintage high-gain grind. On the dashboard, a simple set of controls allows you to dial in the right sound for your setup, feature your classic Output, Tone, and Gain controls along with a Boost/Cut switch that allows you to bump up the overall level with a little extra midrange or drop everything down a notch. This pedal sounds killer on its own, but we think it sounds simply sublime when used to rev up a tube amp that’s just about to cross the line.

Step on the MXR Super Badass Dynamic O.D., and let that engine roar.
